better and stronger political leadership on climate and nature.
Climate justice is a moral imperative for the industrialised west - regardless of faith or belief.

Proud to take part in a @christianaid Talking Climate Justice event with @GeorgeMonbiot @JacqiHodgson @lydia_perris and Jill Lewis this weekend.
Good to explore how the church can help rally people to the cause of climate activism, the urgency we are facing and the need for

RT @TaniaDoney: In the past, I have seen @guardian publish pieces about things called 'leftover wine' and 'leftover chocolate'. It seems they are willing to push this nonsense to new levels: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2023/jan/21/how-to-turn-a-cheeseboard-into-a-meal-recipe-rosie-birkett (@lornafrancis91)

@Right_2Roam An incredible day. Well done to all who organised.
To be surrounded by so many people who care so passionately about our right to access the great outdoors was a joy. Let’s keep going until our lawmakers see sense.

An incredible day. 3,000 people joined in passion, integrity and joy to celebrate the wonder that is Dartmoor. To call for access to such spaces across our country. To protect our right to sleep under the stars.
A huge day for land justice - and just the beginning

RT @guyshrubsole: Wild camping on Dartmoor: let's play spot the difference!
Left: Where the public had a *right* to wild camp just a week ago.
Right: Where Dartmoor landowners NOW *permit* the public to camp, in return for undisclosed amount of public money. So, which landowners have opted out?

@AnthonyMangnal1 Do you believe it’s right that a public funded (underfunded) body - DNPA - should pay landowners for allowing hikers to pitch a tent for the night, when they do no damage and take nothing?
What exactly is the payment for? Where does the money come from?

Permissive rights, not access. Can be withdrawn at any time.
Public payments to landowners. Yes, you read that right.
A stitched-up deal that does not solve the problem. We need a change in the law.
RT @Right_2Roam: Our response to the supposed 'deal' between Dartmoor National Park Authority and (as yet undisclosed) major landowners RE: Wild Camping.
Tl;dr: It's a stitch up.

@guyshrubsole @LibDems Woodland”.
This will likely be reviewed now and brought to conference this year. Lib Dems also support exploring a ‘right to roam’ for waterways and creating a new designation of National Nature Parks.

@guyshrubsole And just to add that has the @libdems not had to cancel conference last Sept, this new policy would have been proposed (and likely passed):

Great to have an EDM on the right to wild camp on Dartmoor tabled today by @RichardFoordLD.
Having expressed his strong support earlier today for wild camping on the moor I hope our MP @AnthonyMangnal1 will be adding his name to this on behalf of his constituents.

Good to see the Dartmoor decision being raised in the House.
RT @JimfromOldham: Today I raised a Point of Order in Parliament on wild camping in #Dartmoor
The High Court ruling seemingly puts the financial interest of one person above fundamental rights & protections provided by #RightToRoam
We should be widening access to nature!
